Eight FBS-vs.-FCS games Thursday, none good

Nothing that happened Thursday night bodes well for Tennessee Tech of the FCS classification giving FBS Iowa a ballgame on Saturday.

The big boys won all eight games against the FCS guys. The combined score was 329-89. That means the average margin of victory was 29.9 points.

The closest game was Louisville's 21-9 win over Murray State of the Ohio Valley Conference, which also calls Tennessee Tech a member. Louisville jumped to a 21-0 lead and must have gotten sleepy after that.

The other scores:

Temple 42, Villanova 7

Central Michigan 21, South Carolina State 6

Toledo 58, New Hampshire 22

Georgia Tech 63, Western Carolina 21

Rutgers 48, North Carolina Central 0

Utah 27, Montana State 10

Arizona State 48, Cal-Davis 14

There will be lots of other FBS-FCS clashes before the weekend is over. Who doesn't savor the prospect of watching tonight's Youngstown State-Michigan State game, or Saturday's battles like Chattanooga-Nebraska and Indiana State-Penn State?
